Have y’all noticed that Maryville in their two biggest district games have gotten every whistle? It’s sad that their best player wins MVP when he is the 5th best player in the region.

Maryville has a really good team and Joe Anderson is a great player, he's a good leader, shoots the ball well, he's very unselfish and he doesn't force shots or turn the ball over. You can't control the officiating and at some point every team has benefited from a call here or there in a game.

How about giving a team credit for being 20-1 instead of saying they are overrated? They have a PG who can shoot the lights out, multiple other excellent 3 point shooters, and are well coached. They may not be quite as physically talented as some other teams but beating teams that are more physically talented than you are is a good thing.

Maryville is having a great season. I just don't know how you can say anyone that is 20-1 is overrated.

Mark is a good coach and Maryville is a very good team.As one guy always says "haters hate".

That’s fair. Completely agree the coach is great. But Maryville just isn’t near as good of team when they aren’t at home and the assistant AD doesn’t get to tell his son who they want to ref the games.

Sure Joe Anderson can be a great player and 4th-5th best player in the region. That’s not a knock on him.

Maryville doesn’t just benefit from calls here or there. They have had some of the most questionable calls go in their favor.
